Bruce Pearl Ponders Rubber Suit

The Tony Jones Era kicks off tomorrow in Fayetteville. Bruce says he may be watching in a rubber suit from a padded room. Wes Rucker sits down for a little Q&A with Coach Jones, who has been advised to get an early T but says concern for his knees will limit his foot stomping.  Elsewhere in Vol News:

• Texas decided to leave our DC be and opted for Miss St's Manny Diaz, but they've come back for our Strength Coach. Farewell, Bennie Wylie, you cartoonish beast of a man. You'll be missed. Rucker says Dooley's talked to Tommy Moffitt, the Tennessee boy now at LSU. Vol fans have taken to Moffitt's LSU bio page to bid him return home.
• Alex Bullard, the former 4-star OG out of Brentwood Academy, is joining the Vols after not getting on the field for Notre Dame as a redshirt freshman. Bullard, whose father passed away in the spring, will be applying for a hardship waiver to allow him immediate eligibility.
• Good round-up of LB prospects from Andrew Gribble.
• And, finally, the Vols of the Female Persuasion beat the bejesus out of Bama.
